Rights of data subjects
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides for extensive rights for data subjects in Chapter III, which we explain to you accordingly below with regard to the processing of your personal data:
Right to information
This requirement concerns in particular information on the following details of data processing:
- Processing purposes
- Data categories
- Recipients or categories of recipients, if applicable
- If applicable, the planned storage duration or the criteria for determining this duration.
- Note on the respective right of correction, deletion, restriction or objection
- Existence of the right to complain to a supervisory authority
- If applicable, origin of the data (if not collected from you)
- If applicable, existence of automated decision-making including profiling, including meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the effects to be expected
- If applicable, (planned) transfer to a third country or international organization
Right to rectification
We will correct any erroneous data immediately, provided that you inform us of the circumstance accordingly.
Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Provided that the processing is no longer necessary and one of the following conditions is met:
- Discontinuation of the purpose of processing
- Withdrawal of their consent and absence of any other legal basis for processing
- Objection to processing without an important reason to the contrary
- Unlawful processing
- Required to fulfill a legal obligation
- Data collection was carried out in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR
Right to restriction of processing
Provided that one of the following conditions is met:
- You dispute the accuracy of your data (restriction can be made for the duration of the review on our side)
- In the event of unlawful processing and if the data is not to be deleted, restriction of processing shall take the place of deletion
- If the processing purposes cease to apply, at the same time you need your data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
- After you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and for the duration of the examination as to whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.
Right to data portability
If it is technically possible and does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons, we will – at your request – transfer your data to another recipient (responsible party).
Right to object
If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you (on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e or f or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR), you have the right to object to the data processing (including profiling) at any time (with effect for the future). In exceptional cases, the objection may be ineffective, e.g. if we can demonstrate compelling interests worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests or processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. You also have the right to object to processing of your data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you, you have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Exceptions to this requirement apply if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or you have expressly consented to the processing. In any case, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our part, to express our own point of view and to contest the decision.
Right to revoke consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
General information on data processing on the website
The following information applies to the data processing on our website in general. If there are exceptions or additions to this information, these are described in detail in the relevant sections.
Data security information
We secure our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. In addition, we have implemented SSL encryption (SHA256) on our website to protect your data. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.
Legal basis of processing
We process personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, depending on the type and purpose of the processing as follows:
| Permitted use | Specification of the GDPR |
| Informed consent | Art. 6 para. 1 a |
| Performance of a contract | Art. 6 para. 1 b |
| Implementation of pre-contractual measures | Art. 6 para. 1 b |
| Fulfillment of legal obligations | Art. 6 para. 1 c |
| Protection of vital interests | Art. 6 para. 1 d |
| Safeguarding our legitimate interest | Art. 6 para. 1 f |
Our legitimate interest
Our legitimate interest, as defined in Article 6 (1) f GDPR, is based on the performance of our business activities in order to maintain our ability to operate and secure the employment of our employees.
General deadlines for data deletion
After the purpose of storage has ceased, the retention periods are generally at least six or ten years. As a rule, data is deleted immediately in accordance with our deletion concept, provided that this does not conflict with any retention obligation, necessity for contract fulfillment or a legitimate interest.
Deletion or blocking of personal data
We store your personal data only for the period required to fulfill the specified purpose. After the purpose no longer applies and after expiration of any existing retention periods, your data will be deleted immediately. If deletion is not possible, the data will be blocked instead.

Cookies
On this website we use cookies; these are small text files that are placed or stored on your computer via your internet browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). These cookies are used for various purposes: many cookies are technically necessary to provide you with certain website functions (e.g. shopping cart functions, saving your login information), other cookies are used to ensure the security of your data or the website and some cookies can be used to analyze your user behavior. The latter cookies may contain a so-called cookie ID – a unique identifier consisting of a string of characters that allows Internet pages and servers to be assigned to the storing browser.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network and cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide you with an expressly requested function are referred to as „technically necessary cookies“ and may be set without your explicit consent (Section 25 (2) TTDSG). All other cookies are subject to consent (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG); if applicable, regulated by our Consent Management Platform.
We use cookies partly only for the duration of your stay on the website, partly for a predefined period and partly permanently. You can delete all these cookies manually or automatically at any time via your web browser.
It is possible to use our offers (although possibly not to the full extent of their functions) without cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you as soon as cookies are sent.
